School of Biblical Studies On-line Courses

Field Based School of Biblical Studies (fbSBS)

The Field Based School of Biblical Studies (fbSBS) is intended for YWAM staff to participate in a fully-accredited University of the Nations SBS which can be studied part-time at their base or team location.  The fbSBS is especially designed for those unable to attend the nine-month residential school.

The fbSBS is ideal for:

  • Individual YWAM staff who have a passion to know more of God’s Word and ways.
  • Whole teams to work on together or as part of a team training strategy.
  • Integrating into existing base training curriculum to provide a dynamic biblical studies element.

The prerequisites for the fbSBS are:

  • The successful completion of a DTS.
  • Active involvement in a YWAM base or team community.
  • Active participation in the base or team worship and intercession times.
  • The agreement of the base or team leader to release you for a day a week for the study.
  • Access to the internet and email.

It is estimated that about 10 hours a week will be needed to complete the work required; for some this might be more.  It is expected that, if the base or team leader releases the student for a day a week, any additional time for the course would need to be found by the student outside of the work day.

e-Learning School of Biblical Studies (e-SBS)

The e-SBS is designed to make Youth With A Mission’s School of Biblical Studies available to those from all walks of life that have hunger for God’s Word and want to engage with it at a deeper level.

It is ideal for:

  • Anyone in the Body of Christ who desires to explore the riches of Scripture beyond what they are at present.
  • YWAM alumni who want to continue their studies earning University of the Nations credit.
  • YWAMers whose circumstances make them unavailable to attend a regular SBS or to participate in the on-line fbSBS.  For example those that are on furlough, on sabbatical, or caring for children at home.
  • Anyone else that would value some systematic study of the Bible in a supportive on-line community setting.
